Toy Dataset for Multivariate Meta-Regression

Description

This is a toy dataset containing simulated effect size data of a fictitious meta-analysis examining the effect of various putative effect moderators. Effect size data is provided as the standardized mean difference (SMD) between the intervention and control group and its corresponding standard error for each study at post. Columns are named in after arguments of the rma.uni function to facilitate out-of-the-box usage.
